All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #074, segment 3 CPT Alan Wood Lukens was variously reported as killed in action, missing in action, hospitalized at an unknown site in France, and possible prisoner of war. He had been killed in action in September, but it took the Lukens family until January to determine what had really happened to Allen. He was awarded a posthumous Distinguished Service Medal

All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #074   The United States was dragged into a war that it seemed nobody wanted, but that was inevitable anyway. Philadelphia produced massive amounts of materials for the American doughboys.   1LT Dillwyn Parrish Starr was impatient for action. He joined Britain's esteemed Coldstream Guard and was readily accepted by them. He was killed at the Battle of the Somme before the United States even got officially involved. CPT Alan Wood Lukens came from two families of steel mongers. Although he was killed in late September of 1918 at Meuse Argonne, his family did not discover the truth until several months later. Lukens was awarded a Distinguished Service Cross posthumously. MAJ Alfred Reginald Allen trained as a research neurologist and became one of the best photomicrographers in the country. He wrote operas, overtures, and hymns, and he founded the Savoy Company to perform the operettas of Gilbert & Sullivan. Yet when he volunteered for war service, it was as an officer in the Army. 2LT Elisha Kent Kane Wetherill trained at PAFA and in Paris with James Whistler. He was apparently wounded by poison gas and spent the last few years of his life suffering from its effects.

In this unedited New and Indie Spotlight episode of Fictional Hangover, Amanda and Claire chat with author F.T. Lukens about ticking all their boxes, having adventures in the background, life becoming art becoming life, and taking time out from reality. F.T.'s newest book, Love at Second Sight, comes out April 29. Go preorder it now!

In this episode of Curing with Sound, John Lukens, PhD, a Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Virginia, shares his groundbreaking research on the connection between the immune system and the brain in combating neurological disorders. He discusses the role of focused ultrasound in enhancing immunotherapy and opening new treatment possibilities for conditions like Alzheimer's, ALS, and brain tumors. Dr. Lukens explains how recent discoveries about the brain's lymphatic system are reshaping our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases. He also details how focused ultrasound is being used to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier, allowing therapies to reach targeted areas more effectively. The conversation sheds light on how these approaches are pushing the boundaries of treatment possibilities for both neurodegenerative and cancer-related brain conditions.

Only about a decade ago did scientists discover the immense potential of leveraging the immune system to combat neurodegenerative diseases. Professor of Neuroscience John Lukens played an integral part in that movement, and he continues to push the field forward today as the inaugural director of UVA's Harrison Family Translational Research Center in Alzheimer's and Neurodegenerative Diseases.

Today we're speaking with Ambassador (ret.) Lew Lukens who is a San Francisco-based senior partner with Signum Global Advisors, an independent advisory firm at the intersection of policy and markets. He shares his view on what Canada can expect from Trump's second term.

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Months after a judge sentenced a Florence man to life in prison for killing two people near Hal's St. Paddy's Parade, his girlfriend has decided to plead guilty for her role in the aftermath that followed. Jenny Lukens took a plea deal this week, admitting to hindering prosecution. In court documents obtained by 3 On Your Side, Lukens said she intentionally misled police to help her boyfriend -- Jordan Cummins -- avoid conviction. She admitted to leaving the scene of the killing before police arrived, and embellished Cummins' story to investigators, hoping it would help him. In June, a Hinds County jury found Cummins guilty on two counts of first-degree murder for killing 27-year-old Joshua Spann and 23-year-old Auden Simpkins. The shooting took place on Jefferson Street in Jackson, a few blocks from the parade route for the Hal's St. Paddy's Parade in March 2023. Lukens' deal means she won't serve any jail time, agreeing to a 14-year sentence with 10 of those years suspended, according to prosecutors. She'll serve the remaining four years on house arrest.

John Rhea Barton was a master surgeon who has both a fracture and a professorship named for him. Thomas Story Kirkbride wanted to take Barton's role, but instead got interested in caring for the mentally ill at a time when a new philosophy was being introduced. Kirkbride asylums became the standard of care for many decades. Anna Lukens was among the students from Women's Medical College who were verbally and physically assaulted after an attempt at coeducational clinical teaching at Pennsylvania Hospital ended up in the “She Doctor Panic of 1869”.

In 1869, Anna Lukens was one of the 30+ medical students from Women's Medical College who inadvertently caused an uproar when they showed up at the weekly clinics.  Despite having permission to be there and purchasing tickets, their mere presence caused a riot among the "gentlemen".     I am experimenting with short form.  I will continue to post the monthly long-form podcast on the 1st and 15th, but I will also start making available the individual people as separate recordings.

For our second Pride Month read, we're discussing So This Is Ever After by F.T. Lukens. The evil ruler of the Kingdom of Ere was dethroned and killed by Arek, as was prophesied. Now what? Arek really just wants to confess his love for his best friend Matt, but agrees to take on the role as interim king of Ere until the heir to throne can be found. However, Arek and his friends must pivot their plans when they discover the heir is dead. Not only is Arek bound to his role as king, but he must also find someone to soul bond with him in the next three months, or he will die. None of this was part of the prophecy, and this ever after was not what any of them expected. Join us this week!

Mother's Day celebrates a special human bond. Food plays an integral role in most mother-child relationships, especially in the very first days after birth as a mother recovers. Cultures around the world celebrate this special time in different ways. This Mother's Day, we explore how three cultures focus on the mother during postpartum recovery and how their foods reflect wisdom and lessons passed down the generations. Learn more Find the dishes and recipes Mexico: ‘I feel like my grandmother is with me again'On an early March afternoon, chef Alexia Pettersen cooked in her client Allison Alexander's kitchen in St. Paul. Pettersen is also a doula. In that double role, she prepared dozens of freezer meals ahead of the due date for Alexander's second child.  The two women cooked traditional recipes Pettersen and her mother learned from her abuela, her grandmother. She remembers when she was a girl when her abuela would visit their south metro home from Mexico. “And every day she was in the kitchen making food, and my mother learned from my grandmother so she can make these foods for my dad and our family,” Pettersen said. “I learned a lot of that from her, but it was also learning a lot from my grandmother and she passed away just before we got married and had kids. So all of this just reminds me of her in so many beautiful ways.”Now she passes on that legacy to a new generation of mothers.“I think there is a little bit of that grandmother or mother's touch that we all have in one way or the other that makes food just taste better,” Pettersen said. “So even if we try to recreate some of these recipes, it may not always taste the same because it was created with love by someone else.”Pettersen started her business Hola Postpartum in 2017. She makes meals in her clients homes to make sure they're well-nourished, because as she put it “moms are really good at caring for other people before they start caring for themselves.”On this day, Alexander learned about staples of Mexican cuisine she had never tried.  She watched as Petterson chopped nopales or cactus pads for risotto. The doula said they are good for rehydration and essential for post-pregnancy.  This time, Alexander feels more prepared for postpartum recovery with Pettersen as her doula. She said people underestimate the importance of good nutrition.“Everything from going to the bathroom, to sleeping, to your mood, to emotions… even when you think of postpartum depression,” she said. “I think that nutrition plays a huge role and how we're taking care of our bodies, and that's why I think what Alexia is doing is so amazing to support moms at every stage of the process.”Just weeks after this freezer-filling session, Alexander welcomed her newborn into the family on March 27. Pettersen said her own postpartum recovery left her feeling isolated.  In Mexico, usually the women in her family would come and support the new mother during labor and after. But she was in Minnesota and most of her family still lived in Mexico, making travel plans difficult and expensive. However she remained connected to her roots, and her abuela, through the food she ate.She remembers eating caldos, broths with floating bones. Also dishes of chiles and vegetables, barley horchata, sopas, albondigas, tacos and more. She said they helped her heal physically and emotionally. “It was like this continuation of this generation that feels sometimes a little lost being kind of in Minnesota, and not having all my family around me all the time,” she said. “In that way, and having that culture, and it's a part of who I am that I miss often.”Across the metro in Minnetonka, two other of Pettersen's clients — Claire Lukens and Lukas Carlson — are adjusting to the arrival of their newborn son, Crosby. During Lukens' first pregnancy, she suffered from postpartum anxiety and didn't focus on her own wellbeing.  Pettersen prepared meals to help Lukens recover her strength and keep her family fed. It is support Lukens doesn't take lightly. “Being able to benefit from the generations, centuries of wisdom that has been passed down is really humbling and having a baby, there's something very basic and primal that makes you feel connected to all the moms that have come before you and that's really humbling as well,” she said. And cooking these meals and sharing them with her clients still powers Pettersen in other ways.  “Every time I'm able to make these foods for my clients, I just feel like my grandmother is with me again,” she says. “This food is just as healing to me to make in their homes because it's like this continuation of this family tradition.”Hmong: ‘What do you want to pass onto them?'In Inver Grove Heights, a hot pot bubbled on the stove in Juechee Yang's kitchen. She started with cornish hens, seasoned with lime leaves, and lemongrass frozen from last summer's harvest.  She was recovering after giving birth to her new daughter in February. While cooking the soup, Yang flipped through the pages of a book on Hmong herbs written by her aunt.  “Ko taw os liab, which translates to ‘red-duck feet,'” she reads aloud. “And this one just kind of helps apparently to regain strength and endurance and works on menstrual and liver disorders, and increases appetite in people with no energy. It purifies the body to expel and have a clear full flow to gain uterus muscle strength.”Before her daughter's arrival, Yang prepared by freezing bags of chicken meat so she could cook them quickly in soup with steamed rice.The Hmong tradition is to eat this same meal every day for the first month after giving birth. It's known as the “chicken diet” to the Hmong people. It's a holistic soup recipe made from herbs and fresh young chicken that's been passed down through the generations.  It's considered the epitome of home cooking and a comfort dish.There's no formal recipe or standard measurements, Yang said. Even though chicken soup with Hmong herbs is well-known within the Hmong community, it can be different even among families. Some prefer the taste of fresh chicken slaughtered and dressed that morning. Others like the convenience of going to the grocery store and picking up frozen cornish hens. Yang says there are more than 30 herbs used to add flavor to the soup. She prefers those known as white duck feet, red duck feet, Hmong shrub and, perhaps her favorite, Flick plant. “This one, I kind of eat,” she adds. “You can eat these or just let it soak into the liquid as well. But this one, I don't mind eating. It's really good.”While she cooked, Yang said this knowledge of postpartum care is important to pass down to new generations of Hmong who are growing up in America. As a new mother she thinks about it often. “As my daughter, way way down the line when she gets older, when she does have children, I would want her to follow the same diet or purification” she said. “How to eat, what to eat and how to treat her body when she gives birth.” Eating the same food every day for a month can feel overbearing, Yang says. But, she learned it's an unspoken love language that comes from a place of care. She now makes this soup often for her children. “Sharing your love,” she adds. “Sharing that love that you have for your family. Sharing your love that you have [and] going above and beyond. Not being stingy about your love and sharing it equally among everyone.”Dakota and Ojibwe: ‘Letting them love up on me'At a doula gathering at the Division of Indian Work in Minneapolis a big pot of whitefish bone broth which simmered on the stove for several hours. “After you filet your fish and freeze them, take those bones and make fish bone broth,” said Linda Black Elk of the North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems Educational Programming and Community Outreach. “It has tons of collagen, which is great for muscles and bones and great for like if you are pregnant and you have morning sickness. Bone broth should be a regular thing that you sip on because you're getting hydrated and you're getting all the nutrients you need.”Black Elk stressed the importance of adding vinegar to the white fish to break down the bones and release that collagen. She added celery, onions, carrots, salt, pepper, bay leaves and garlic into the simmering soup. Luke Black Elk of the Cheyenne River Sioux Nation walked the doulas through his cooking process, telling them the broths they make are both healthy and sustainable as it teaches them to use all food.“One of the things I like to do is to char the vegetables before I put them in. It just adds a little depth of flavor to everything. You can also char the bones a little bit if you want to. We didn't do that this time, but I've done that with beef bones before, buffalo bones,” Luke added, “And then you just boil it. But you can just use the scraps that people don't want, most people would just throw away, you can just throw them into a big pot and let them boil.”Linda showed a jar of calendula flowers and other spices around. She said while some consider spices as just adding flavor, for Indigenous people they add medicinal properties. “Staghorn sumac has amazing medicine and is so good with fish because it has this citrusy, lemony flavor to it which pairs really well with fish, and the other thing we're going to add is a little bit of calendula flower,” she says. “Let's say you're pregnant and you constantly have acid reflux, you can make bone broth specifically designed to help with your acid reflux and indigestion. This fish broth is going to be so beautiful because it's going to coat your esophagus and your whole digestive system in medicine and it's so calming.”Ninde Doula Project Coordinator Valentina Zaragoza remembers eating these medicinal bone broths during her postpartum recovery. During her first pregnancy she struggled with depression and mastitis. “We're connected to the land,” she says. “For each tribe, or each region, there's specific plants that grow in each area that match our DNA. It's intended for us that's the perfect thing, that's what it's made for. That's what it's intended for. I think about bone broth, what we talked about today and the vegetables and how important it is for that collagen for women and during postpartum and how we feel, it's very important.”An enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwe in North Dakota, Zaragoza said family and community made all the difference in her motherhood journey, especially her most recent birth. She felt better prepared this time around. “Really, just kind of allowing people to love up on me,” she said. “There's something in soup that's so comforting. Also with teas, and just like liquids in general, like those kinds of things that I didn't pay enough attention to early on, that was the difference this time around.”Zaragoza supports doulas bringing back traditional concepts of interconnection and community. The Division of Indian Work hosts workshops so doulas can learn how to make medicinal bone broths and teas to better support their clients. “Feeding someone, that's a way that we took care of each other,” she said. “I think across all cultures you did those things. You had respect and honor for your elders, and your women, and your children. As doulas, we get to step into those roles, take care of other women, families, and these babies and nourish them through food, care or just letting them rest.”And it shows expressions of love can come in so many forms, including as sopas, tacos, chicken soup and bone broth. ‘All mothers care for their daughters' A traditional Korean dish honors motherhood through children's birthdays Take a closer look at how these dishes are made Chayote, chickpea and carrot guisado over farro Chicken Soup with Hmong Herbs White Fish Bone BrothChayote, chickpea and carrot guisado over farroChayote is a staple in Mexican cuisine. In this postpartum guisado (aka stew), chayotes are used for their antioxidants to reduce postpartum inflammation, high in vitamin C for wound healing and boosting immunity, high in fiber to aid the postpartum “go” and high in folate to support baby's brain development as well as reduce the occurrence of postpartum mood disorders.Paired with chickpeas, a well known lactogenic legume, and farro for protein, more fiber and folate, and lots of trace minerals to support the healing postpartum body. IngredientsChopped onionGrated gingerMinced garlicCarrotsRed bell peppersChayote or “mirliton squash”Diced can tomatoesSmoked paprikaGround cuminAncho chili powderGround cinnamonSalt and pepper to tasteLemon juice2 14 oz cans of chickpeasFresh chopped cilantroFarroBone brothInstructionsCook the farro in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker by mixing the farro and broth. Set it to 7 minutes on high pressure, and allow it to naturally release for seven minutes before quick release. Store in container and in the fridge to be served with stew. In the same pressure cooker, combine onion, ginger, garlic, carrots, bell pepper, tomatoes, broth, spices and chickpeas. Stir and combine. Lock the lid in place and set it to 6 minutes of high pressure. Quick or natural release, then open when pressure subsides. Using the saute function, stir in the lemon juice and cilantro and add salt and pepper for taste. Recipe provided by Alexia Pettersen, chef, doula and owner of Hola Postpartum.

Juechee Yang says depending on accessibility and convenience, some prefer to butcher chickens themselves, but she opts to go to the grocery store to pick up some cornish hens. There's more than 30 types of herbs that can be used depending on the need, but Yang says she prefers three focusing on postpartum recovery. It's a recipe many in the community grow up eating and learning from their elders.

Then, scoop out impurities from the water once it starts boiling before reboiling the meat. Put in lemongrass and lime leaves. The chicken then boils for another 15 to 20 minutes on medium heat. Salt and black pepper are added to taste. Herbs are added and then stirred in on low heat for two to three minutes. Once finished, serve over steamed rice and enjoy. Recipe provided by Juechee Yang Juechee Yang on making chicken soup with Hmong herbsWhite Fish Bone BrothLinda and Luke Black Elk taught doulas at the Division of Indian Work bone broth recipes to help support their clients going through pregnancy, birth and postpartum recovery. These medicinal soups are filled with protein, collagen, nutrients and hydrate the body. Luke said vinegar is one of the most important ingredients to add in the bone broth to help break down the collagen in the bones, which will help the skin, hair and nails. It'll also help aid acid reflux and digestion. The dish has an abundance of collagen—which is good for muscles and bones—and if someone is pregnant and has morning sickness, Linda says bone broth “should be a regular thing to sip on” for hydration. “You're getting all of the nutrients that you need,” she adds. IngredientsWhite fish (Any)CarrotsCeleryOnionGarlicBay LeavesMushroom PowderApple Cider Vinegar Salt/Black Pepper to tasteThymeStaghorn SumacCalendula FlowerInstructionsAny white fish can be used. Sear the fish in a pan for five minutes with some olive oil. Add some water and other ingredients. Cover and simmer for several hours. Apple cider vinegar is very important to help break down the bones. There's staghorn sumac that has a citrusy lemon flavor which pairs well with fish, and another with calendula flower which helps with acid reflux for pregnancy. If you want to add some extra flavor into the broth, charring the vegetables and the bones is also a good option. Recipe provided by Linda and Luke Black Elk  Luke and Linda Black Elk on making bone broths

Today I am chatting with New York Times Bestselling author F. T. Lukens. Take a listen as F. T. and I chat all about their latest queer speculative fiction young adult novel, Otherworldly. You'll hear us chat not just about this fantastic supernatural story, but about F. T. Lukens' writing process, what it would be like to live in a never ending winter for five years, mythology, meet cutes vs. meet disasters, how M. Night Shyamalan  scared the heck out of both of us, and how both F. T. and I worked as dish washers at one point (just like our main character, Ellery). Otherworldly is a sweet cozy fantasy filled with magic, mythology, supernatural characters, and more! You'll travel into Ellery and Knox's worlds, discover their found family, hope along with them as they go on this incredible journey. And, while there are definitely creepy magical moments in this book, Otherworldly will leave you  feeling like you just received a warm hug. This is one young adult fantasy you don't want to miss!About Otherworldly:Seventeen-year-old Ellery is a non-believer in a region where people swear the supernatural is real. Sure, they've been stuck in a five-year winter, but there's got to be a scientific explanation. If goddesses were real, they wouldn't abandon their charges like this, leaving farmers like Ellery's family to scrape by.Knox is a familiar from the Other World, a magical assistant sent to help humans who have made crossroads bargains. But it's been years since he heard from his queen, and Knox is getting nervous about what he might find once he returns home. When the crossroads demons come to collect Knox, he panics and runs. A chance encounter down an alley finds Ellery coming to Knox's rescue, successfully fending off his would-be abductors.Ellery can't quite believe what they've seen. And they definitely don't believe the nonsense this unnervingly attractive guy spews about his paranormal origins. But Knox needs to make a deal with a human who can tether him to this realm, and Ellery needs to figure out how to stop this winter to help their family. Once their bargain is struck, there's no backing out, and the growing connection between the two might just change everything.Thank you to F. T.

Most of you will easily remember the 1996 film starring the iconic trio that is Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton. But did you know that before it was a movie it was a book written by socialite and author Olivia Goldsmith? Released in 1992, the book is a study in society, in revenge and this book is probably what Shakespeare meant when he said 'Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned'. For these women are 100% vindictive and out for blood. Unlike the film, this is not all sweetness and light with cute little moments such as the teasing about Elise's overdone lip implants, or the scene with the legendary Maggie Smith where she is mentoring the naive and money hungry Sarah Jessica Parker. So...what did I think when I read this for the first time? Listen on to find out! Episode links Livestream for the Cure F.T. Lukens interview (YouTube)

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - More than six months after he was released on bond, the man indicted for killing two people near Hal's St. Paddy's Parade is back behind bars for violating the terms of that agreement with the court. Hinds County Circuit Judge Faye Peterson revoked bond for Jordan Cummins after testimony from two witnesses and evidence filed with the state showed him repeatedly spending time at the home of Jenny Lukens, a co-defendant in the case. A grand jury indicted Cummins last year on two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Joshua Spann and Auden Jubilee Simpkins, and also indicted Lukens for one count of hindering prosecution. The shooting took place a few blocks from the parade route for the Hal's St. Paddy's Parade in downtown Jackson back in March of last year. Cummins drove away after the shootings and was captured a short time later by Capitol Police. Though his bond was initially denied because of a cellphone video that emerged of Cummins justifying the shooting, Peterson granted him a $250,000 secured bond in July. That bond contained strict orders that required him to remain within the confines of his mother's home from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and have no contact with Lukens or the victims' families. One witness told the court that she saw Cummins and Lukens together often, at least twice a week. Another witness, who served as a private investigator hired to monitor Cummins' movements, said he violated the terms of his curfew almost constantly from late December to late January. Peterson took particular issue with the fact that Cummins did not change his behavior even after the state filed a motion to revoke bond with evidence that Cummins had been essentially living with Lukens during that time.

Hey friends! We have a treat for you this week! This week we're chatting with our friend, Author F.T. Lukens about their forthcoming book 'Otherworldly'! Otherworldly launches April 2nd, 2024, and it's a magical contemporary book! We also talk about advice for authors (how to not be your own biggest critic!) magical references, and so so much more in this episode! Otherworldly follows Ellory, a non-binary teen who has moved away from their family farm to live with their cousin Charlie and her partner Zada to live in the city. Ellory's family farm has been plunged into decline as both the country side and the city have been gridlocked in what could be an eternal winter, with no end in sight. Ellory also doesn't believe in the gods or the magical beings that exist in the world, and is soon face to face with this magical world when they have a run in with Knox, a magical being who was summoned to this world to assist with a deal that seems to have come to an end. Knox is worried there is something wrong with his Queen, because she has not responded to his messages for 5 years. Can a non-believer and a magical being figure out what's plaguing the world? Or will this eternal winter continue for eternity ? Theme song by Man With Roses

This week, President Ryan sits down with Dr. John Lukens, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at UVA. Dr. Lukens is an expert in neuroimmunology--his lab explores the immune pathways responsible for inflammation in the brain. The more we understand how these pathways work, the more we can target them with drugs and treatment regimens, potentially combatting neurological disorders earlier and more effectively. Dr. Lukens also discusses his philosophy of mentorship: lessons learns from his own advisors, highlighting individual student strengths and shoring up weaknesses, and celebrating spirit days both for fun and for important milestones.

Kody Lukens has been an entrepreneur since the age of 15, when he filed his first LLC. Now, he is the creator behind Stimagz - a successful magnetic fidget toy that was funded on Kickstarter. When Kody was first diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, he was frustrated by the lack of resources tailored for adults dealing with ADHD. He started searching online for recommendations and communities that could provide support but found very little that resonated with his needs and experience as an adult with ADHD. This inspired Kody to start creating his own ADHD-focused content on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. The response was overwhelmingly positive, indicating a real need for content created by and for adults with ADHD.  While creating content proved draining at times, Kody persevered because he knew first-hand how valuable resources and community can be for someone newly diagnosed with ADHD. He continues to fill his own need for community by engaging with the people who interact with his content. Through this experience, Kody has gained significant insight into the need for accessible education, support systems, and community for adults with ADHD.This passion led him to create Stimara, a company dedicated to building tools and products designed specifically for neurodivergent individuals. Stimagz, their magnetic fidget toy, has already sold over 10,000 units. Kody and the Stimara team are constantly working on new innovations to support the ADHD community.

Play ball! In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are jointed by Jonah Birenbaum (@birenball) to discuss Modern Baseball's debut album, Sports.

Find out more about why neither the hosts nor guest can remember much from their formative MoBo concert experiences, why the band's lyrics resonated so well with the guys in their early-20s, and whether Blake tells Jake that The Region qualifies as "a town that said reckon all the time" on this week's podcast.

Craig Constantine and Alex Lukens discuss movement practices and personal growth as they explore the notions of finding balance, and the importance of doing less in order to achieve more. Doing less is okay and it's still effective… There's an identity attached to overdoing, overachieving, and winning. ~Alex Lukens Craig and Alex explore the realm of movement practices and the quest for balance. They discuss the challenges of adopting a heart-centered approach and the fear attached to doing less in personal pursuits. Alex introduces the idea of developing a maximally efficient and minimally effortful movement practice by combining the philosophies of Chinese kung fu and Judo. Your movement practice can be maximally efficient and minimally with minimal effort as long as you put the work in and the discipline up front. ~Alex Lukens Alex draws parallels between movement practices and other disciplines, such as music, emphasizing the role of repetition, simplicity, and discipline in achieving profound results. fortysevenstyle.com: The web site for Alex's Fortysevenstyle work. Exercised: Book Alex mentions, by Daniel Lieberman. --- Why does Movers Mindset exist? The purpose of Movers Mindset is to create and share great conversations with movement enthusiasts. Each conversation feeds my insatiable curiosity, but I share them to turn on a light for someone else, to inspire them, or to give them their next question. In the podcast, I talk with movement enthusiasts to learn who they are, what they do, and why they do it. I'm interested in the nature and philosophy of movement and in exploring themes like independence, self-direction, and human excellence. My interests color each conversation and provide some structure to Movers Mindset. But since I like to take the scenic route, every conversation ends up going somewhere unique. I really appreciate your time and attention, and I don't take it for granted. --- I need your support I want to share more of these amazing conversations, with amazing people, but I'm limited by the cost of the project. Please support what I'm doing. Every dollar really makes a difference. You can make a one-time contribution via Buy Me a Coffee, https://www.buymeacoffee.com/moversmindset …or make a recurring contribution via Patreon, https://www.patreon.com/moversmindset --- Thank you! My personal mission is creating better conversations to spread understanding and compassion. And Movers Mindset is one of the things I do in service of my mission. Drop by constantine.name for my weekly email, my other podcasts, writing and more. The Movers Mindset project grew from conversations I started having as part of my personal journey rediscovering movement. The project started late in 2015, and it was initially simply a web site that shared others' writing. The project grew, and in 2017 I started the podcast. I've worked extremely hard, but none of this would have been possible without so much help from so many people. Cheers! ɕ

Jeff Lukens is a husband, father, grandfather and follower of Christ. He also taught, impacted and coached thousands of teenagers, myself included, during his 35 plus year career in the Sioux Falls public school system - a career that resulted in him receiving a ‘Teacher of the Year' award for both the city of Sioux Falls and the state of South Dakota.  In this episode of The RESGEN Giving Life Podcast, Jeff and I visit about what he enjoyed most about teaching and coaching students and what advice he would give to others who are working with teenagers and parents today. We also talk about what has contributed to the dramatic rise in athletic performances today and how we can protect our kids from things like burnout, performance anxiety and finding their identity in sports, instead of Christ.  The Giving Life Podcast: Conversations about being a man whose life in Christ gives life to others.Watch the video version on youtube - youtu.be/adWLBdqY1SQ More info about Restoration Generation - www.resgen.org

Hey friends! This week we welcome back our friend F.T Lukens to chat all about their latest book Spell Bound! On top of talking about Spell Bound, we talk all about working through gate keeping, the Emperor's New Groove, the importance of voicing your boundaries, and so much more! Laughter is absolutely dead ahead yall! Theme Song by Man With Roses "Edison Rooker isn't sure what to expect when he enters the office of Antonia Hex, the powerful sorceress who runs a call center for magical emergencies. He doesn't have much experience with hexes or curses. Heck, he doesn't even have magic. But he does have a plan—to regain the access to the magical world he lost when his grandmother passed. Antonia is…intimidating, but she gives him a job and a new name—Rook—both of which he's happy to accept. Now all Rook has to do is keep his Spell Binder, an illegal magical detection device, hidden from the Magical Consortium. And contend with Sun, the grumpy and annoyingly cute apprentice to Antonia's rival colleague, Fable. But dealing with competition isn't so bad; as Sun seems to pop up more and more, and Rook minds less and less. But when the Consortium gets wind of Rook's Spell Binder, they come for Antonia. All alone, Rook runs to the only other magical person he knows: Sun. Except Fable has also been attacked, and now Rook and Sun have no choice but to work together to get their mentors back…or face losing their magic forever."
